So I'm swapping my 2.5l turtle out for a 5.3l ls gen3 lm7... was at a parts swap over weekend and picked up a gen 4 2010 oil pan has windage tray but no pickup tube.. my question was if anyone here is running this oil pan have you had oil pressure issues on hill climbs/declines/off camber ...

We were at bantam this weekend and wife and I agreed our 2.5l needs just a few more hp... I've talked on here several times about re gear and then about a 350 swap but I was thinking..... If I bought a complete tj from 97 -06 that was automatic and had a 4.0 could I just swap everything into my...

@OldBuzzard yes it does I was moving in from the inside with my hand very easily. I'm waiting on straps to get here and I'm going to put everything back in and see what happens... it wasn't a complete waste of time I painted the skid plate and filler neck so it shouldn't rust out for awhile...

@someguysjeep ah ha so we have made a conclusion I'm missing a spring lol its gone so all I have left is the ball inside the cage I'm not going to mess with it I guess right now without the spring it should theoretically work better but who knows... I've got a feeling I'm just going to have to...

@someguysjeep thanks for the info it's kinda odd that I don't have the other style check valve I thought they were all the same type. I didn't see any springs floating around in the tank so i must not be missing any parts

No problem just did the job myself not too long ago

Here's what it looks like there's no spring in there just a ball

If you can spray those bolts twice a day with kroil or if you can't find kroil get some pb blaster you still may need to get out the sawzall I'd get some good metal blades

Ok so it's takes me awhile to fill my 98 tj I did my research and found out there's supposed to be a check valve in the gas tank. So I dropped the gas tank and come to find out there's no check valve I'm not surprised because everything I work on is always screwy for some reason. I'm really...

I also saw motive and usa standard

@Blackjack @1904-06LJR I'll keep those in mind as well I did see that rga is out of stock most places I'm not in a hurry to get it done so I could wait it out if need be. Thanks for all the information I'll try to get rga or nitro

Ah gotcha guess I should of put that together lol 😆

@Jerry Bransford I take it rga is Richmond gear ? I'm new to gear companies not familiar with any of them

I'll have to see if the shops can locate them. I'm not doing the gear swap so I'm sure they would rather use what they are comfortable with and I'm sure warranty would play into that as well. I wouldn't want to buy parts and have something go wrong and be blamed if you know what I mean

Dana 30 up front with Aussie locker Dana 44 rear limited slip command trac Going to 4.88 have 4.10 was going to do a motor swap but I've played with a gear ratio calculator for the last couple nights and it seems like if I regear it would work out. I just need a little bit of power back 4.56...
